2 Xiimotewos 4
1 Ani fuula Waaqaa duratti, fuula Kiristoos Yesuus isa warra jiraatanii fi warra duʼanitti muruuf jiruu durattis mulʼachuu isaatii fi mootummaa isaatiin sin gorsa.
This is what I instruct you to do before God and Christ Jesus who will judge the living and the dead when he comes to establish his kingdom.
2 Dubbicha lallabi; yeroo mijaaʼaattis taʼu yeroo hin mijoofnetti qophaaʼi; obsa guddaa fi barsiisa of eeggannaatiin sirreessi; ifadhu; jajjabeessis.
Speak God's word whether it is convenient or not, tell people where they're going wrong, warn them, encourage them. Do this with a great deal of patient teaching.
3 Yeroon itti namoonni barsiisa dhugaa dhagaʼuuf obsa hin qabaanne ni dhufaatii. Qooda kanaa akka waan gurri isaanii inni hooqsisu sun dhagaʼuu barbaadu itti himaniif hawwii isaanii guutachuuf barsiistota baayʼee ofii isaaniitiif walitti qabatu.
For the time is coming when people won't bother to listen to true teaching. Instead they will be curious to listen to something different, and will surround themselves with teachers who'll tell them what they want to hear.
4 Gurra isaaniis dhugaa dhagaʼuu irraa garagalchanii gara oduu hundee hin qabneetti deebisu.
They will stop listening to the truth and wander off following myths.
5 Ati garuu waan hunda keessatti ilaallachaa deemi; rakkina obsi; hojii tajaajilaan wangeelaa tokko hojjetu hojjedhu; tajaajila kees fiixaan baasi.
You need to keep your wits about you at all times. Put up with troubles, do the work of sharing the good news, fulfill your ministry.
6 Ani ammuma iyyuu akka dhibaayyuutti dhangalaafamuuf qophaaʼeera; yeroon deemsa koos gaʼeera.
For I'm about to be sacrificed—the time of my death is approaching.
7 Ani lola gaarii loleera; dorgommii xumureera; amantiis eegeera.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept my trust in God.
8 Amma gonfoon qajeelummaa na eeggata; isas Abbaa Murtii qajeelaa, Gooftichatu guyyaa sana naa kenna; kanas warra mulʼachuu isaa jaallatan hundaaf kenna malee ana qofaaf miti.
Now there's a prize reserved for me—the crown for a life lived according to what is good and right. The Lord, (who is the judge that always does what's right), will give that to me on that Day. And not just to me, but to everyone who longs for his coming.
9 Dafii gara koo kottu;
Please try to come to me as soon as you can.
10 Deemaas addunyaa kana jaallatee na dhiisee gara Tasaloniiqee deemeeraatii. Qeerqis gara Galaatiyaa, Tiitoon immoo gara Dilmaaxiyaa deemaniiru. (aiōn g165)
Demas has abandoned me because he loves the things of this world more, and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Luqaas qofatu na bira jira. Maarqos waan tajaajila koo keessatti na gargaaruuf isa of duukaa fidii kottu.
Only Luke is here with me. Bring Mark with you, because he can help me with my work.
12 Ani Xikiqoosin Efesoonitti ergeera.
I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13 Ati yommuu dhuftutti waaroo ani Xirooʼaasitti Kaariphoos biratti dhiisee fi kitaabota maramoo, keessumattuu kitaabota gogaa duugamaa sana naa fidi.
When you come please bring the cloak I left behind with Carpus in Troas—and the books, especially the parchments.
14 Iskindiroos tumtuun naasii sun akka malee natti hammaate. Gooftaan akka hojii isaatti ni deebisaaf.
Alexander the coppersmith caused me a lot of trouble—may God judge him for what he did.
15 Namichi kun waan akka malee ergaa keenya mormeef atis isa irraa of eeggachuu qabda.
You watch out for him too, because he was very much against what we were saying.
16 Yeroo ani falmata koo kan jalqabaa dhiʼeeffadhetti hundi isaanii iyyuu na dhiisanii deeman malee namni tokko iyyuu na hin gargaarre. Anis akka wanni kun isaanitti hin lakkaaʼamneef Waaqa nan kadhadha.
When it came to my first defense, no-one stood up for me—everyone abandoned me. May they not be blamed for this.
17 Garuu akka karaa kootiin ergaan guutummaatti lallabamuu fi akka Namoonni Ormaa hundi dhagaʼaniif Gooftaan na bira dhaabatee na jajjabeesse. Anis afaan leencaa jalaa nan baafame.
But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength so that I could declare the whole of the message so that all the foreigners could hear it. I was rescued out of the lion's mouth!
18 Gooftaan waan hamaa hunda jalaa na baasee mootummaa isaa kan samiiti nagumaan na galcha. Bara baraa hamma bara baraatti ulfinni isaaf haa taʼu. Ameen. (aiōn g165)
The Lord will rescue me from all the evil things done against me, and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. His is the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Phirisqilaa fi Aqiilaatti, warra mana Oneesifooros jiraatanittis nagaa naa himi.
My greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and to Onesiphorus's family.
20 Erisxoos Qorontositti hafe; Xiroofiimoos immoo dhukkubsannaan ani Miilexoositti isa dhiise.
Erastus stayed on in Corinth. I left Trophimus behind in Miletus because he was sick.
21 Gannaan dura dafii kottu. Ewugiloos nagaa siif dhaama; Phuudeniis, Liinoos, Qilaawudiyaa fi obboloonni hundinuus akkasuma nagaa siif dhaamu.
Please try to come before winter. Eubulus sends his best wishes—and Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers and sisters too.
22 Gooftaan hafuura kee wajjin haa taʼu. Ayyaanni si wajjin haa taʼu.
The Lord be with you. May his grace be with you all.
